Al ajillo is a typical condiment in the cuisines of the Spanish-speaking world. The likely origin, through colonization, is the Spanish dish gambas al ajillo, prawns cooked in a garlic and hot paprika oil. In Mexico, it combines guajillo chili peppers and ajo (garlic).[1] In other Latin American countries the dish is similar, but using other chilies, for example the aji pancaoraji mirasol in Peruvian cooking, dried forms of aji amarillo.
It is a dish made with shrimp that are fried in a pan with butter or vegetable oil, in which slices of garlic and guajillo chile have been frying. It is seasoned with salt, black pepper, lemon and parsley or coriander.[1]
